Measuring Sunshine.

There was a time, not many years
ago. when the sun might shine and
shine with all its might. and vet leav e
no scientific record of its presence be-
yond the effect of mere heat shown by
thermometer. Nowadays all this is
changed. and there are scattered over
various portions of the country instru-
ments which catch every CLEAN of
bright sunlight and write it down in
delibly, 80 that by looking at the pie
ture presented we NAV see at Il glance
whether such and such day was real
" fine or cloudy. The cOntrivance by
which this is effected is eXceedin civ
simple. consisting as it does of nothing
more than solid glass ball set on a
pedestal " tn surrounding frame in
which Ia place at a suitable angle a lit
tie strip of blue card board. The glass
ball plays the part of burning glass.
and when the sun shines bright the
rays are focused upon the strip of card
board. where the effect is seen i'm a
scOrched patch of more or less distinct
ness. As the relative position of the
sun changes the scorch changes too, 50
that at the end of a bright sunny day
the picture on the card consists of a
long scorched line. BY measuring this
line we get back record of the num-
her of hours, sunshine prevalent during
the day The instrument. although
commercially simple, has one great
drawback. If the brilliancy of the sun :
rays be shrouded even TO very small
extent by mist or by thin veil of cir
rus cloud. the heat produced is insult
ficient to- produce burn on the card.
